Is the Republican Party in disarray?

And what have the Dems? Clinton? And old codger named Sanders who will NEVER get the nod.... Biden the 3 time loser?

Come on..

And what about a blatant, desperate topic change?

It's right on... pointing out both parties are just a little messed up right now. At eleast I an admit to the fucked up nature of my party.. try it, it is refreshing.

No, its a desperate deflection. You don't want to discuss the republican party, its fracturing, its disarray, its back biting and lack of leadership.

So........you try to change the topic to democrats.

Laughing....no thank you. I like the actual thread topic.

Oh grow the fuck up... Yeah, ok, the Dems are doing just fine as the Admin prepares to throw Clinton under the bus for Crazy Uncle Joe, who they can control. Face it kid, both parties are messes.
 
The GOP is ruled by the far right. By definition they do not appeal to the majority of Americans. They will continue to lose .

Obama was in such a vulnerable position and he still creamed Romney .

I'm not the one denying reality like a child. That would be you.

The republicans CAN'T play hardball. As they lack the unity to do so. No matter what hardline they try to take, many of its members slip away under the pressure.

The democrats don't. They hold their line.

Your own example just demonstrated the absurdity of your deflection. As no, the parties aren't both 'broken'. The dems are surprisingly unifed. The republicans are sobbing in the wasteland of their lack of leadership.

Literally.


Some Republicans were caught actually sobbing after Kevin McCarthy dropped out of the House Speaker race.

But keep those eyes screwed shut and keep pretending. I'm sure that will fix the problem.

The far right make up about 40 house members. Its simply smaller than the majority the republicans hold in the House.
 
lol, well they didn't have them dying this time. now they are only in disarray

man oh man. as if their party is smooth sailing. Hillary is being Investigated as we speak, they have a 100 year old nobody Socialist running for President Bernie, that they're hoping makes it through the campaign without having a heart attack and now they are looking to walk all over Hillary AGAIN by bringing in Joe Biden.

they just refuse to look into their party and how messed up it is and has been since Obama was elected. but don't tell anyone ok


If Democrats are so messed up, how are able to kick your ass so much lately?

You realize you lost the House, then the Senate.. right?


Sure, and it really seemed to bother the right because we weren't upset about that little midterm. You won, so what have you done so far besides argue among yourselves and watch Obama continue with his goals? You might have won that one election, but you don't have a thing to show for it.

Then why haven't the republicans passed all the bills they wanted?

Because they're a bunch of pussies who won;t play hardball with the Dems who will play hardball.


We finally agree. Republicans are a bunch of pussies.
 
The Republican party is held hostage by the few Teabugger group who think government requires no compromise and you simply demand everyone do what you want them to do.

Hard to say how long this conservative adolescent fantasy camp will play out but it isn't over yet. The best outcome would be for the radicals like Cruz and others to split off into a new party that will forever be a tiny cohort or simply die on the vine.

Its hilarious to watch though. Its like being over someone's house and their kids absolutely refuse to go to bed. Great entertainment.
 
I really am trying to be objective with this.

The highest polling repub candidate for 2016 is a dumbass who, only like two weeks ago, even came up with real policy ideas to pitch to the American people. Regardless, prior to two weeks ago, this Neanderthal was maintaining broad support among republicans simply because he was a drama queen who likes to ruffle feathers for the sake of attention. Unfortunately for the republcans, Americans in a general election want a candidate who knows what the fuck he is talking about that has real policy ideas. I'll admit that I am surprised Trump has lasted this long in first place, but that only demonstrates how stupid republicans really are. They are dumber than I actually thought. However what's interesting about Trump is that he has embraced certain progressive issues like him and his class not paying enough in taxes. Can you imagine what the big time donors like the Koch Brothers are doing right now? They are shitting their pants over this guy. They've come to realize that they can't buy this election like they were hoping they could. They are completely wasting the near billion dollars they spent on it. Right now the guy who is leading republicans is not supported by egregious super pacs. He funds his own race. Think about this. Trump, who is a billionaire, is saying the rich do not pay their fair share of taxes. He is basically handing the democrats a victory with this kind of politics. People more and more are becoming fed up with how republcans coddle the rich. Establishment repubs are sure as hell never going to openly agree with this guy. If Trump makes it to the nomination, he will lose in a landslide. Why? Because he is an idiot that knows nothing about government administration or critical issues like foreign policy. Democrats would win regardless who ends up being the nominee. Any other GOP candidate will do nothing to embrace the issue of ridiculous income disparity between the poor and wealthy. People will inevitably turn to Bernie or Hillary (hopefully the former).

The second issue to bring up is the crisis the House is having in replacing Boehner. This party has become so fractured that they can't even unify on voting in a new leader. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I hope the party implodes. I hope the American people will wake the fuck up and realize that republicans ONLY care about protecting the interests of the 1%.

The Republicans’ Incompetence Caucus

The House Republican caucus is close to ungovernable these days. How did this situation come about?

This was not just the work of the Freedom Caucus or Ted Cruz or one month’s activity. The Republican Party’s capacity for effective self-governance degraded slowly, over the course of a long chain of rhetorical excesses, mental corruptions and philosophical betrayals. Basically, the party abandoned traditional conservatism for right-wing radicalism. Republicans came to see themselves as insurgents and revolutionaries, and every revolution tends toward anarchy and ends up devouring its own.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/13/opinion/the-republicans-incompetence-caucus.html?_r=0

And this from a life long conservative.

He's right. The GOP is consuming itself. And the 'freedom caucus' is wildly incompetent. I mean, grotesquely so. They have no respect for governance.......so they've never bothered to learn how to do it.

And so suck royally at their awkward attempts at it.
 
In some ways, the GOP is in shreds. But I am finally starting to see some signs of unity. For instance, almost every Republican candidate has put out a tax reform plan which involves eliminating tax expenditures. FINALLY!

The GOP herd went insane about 15 years ago, after 9/11. Flag pins, war on terror, Homeland Security, waterboarding, domestic spying, anti-Muslim hysteria.

See my signature. One by one, people on the Right are starting to return to sanity.

I have frequently said I stopped voting years ago because the Right and the GOP have been hijacked by liars, hypocrites, retards, and psychopaths. I have spent a lot of time pointing out the liars and hypocrites and retards on this forum.

But now we have to deal with the psychopaths. These are people who are stuck in attack mode. It is all they know how to do. They cannot formulate solutions. They cannot debate. They cannot think. They have been trained by the Karl Rove machine to be nothing but attack dogs. No matter what someone says, what solutions they offer, the attack dog tries to tear it to shreds. They were trained to oppose anything a Democrat said, no matter what. If there is a D after the person's name, ATTACK!

They're stuck. So even when talking about Republicans, they only know how to attack. That's why it feels like the Right is "eating its own" right now. No matter what candidate for Speaker of the House is suggested, the attack dogs bare their teeth. Everything and everyone is a target now. It's all very Reign of Terror-ish. The right wing version of it.

These rabid dogs need to be put down.

We're seeing a hidden harm to the GOP created by Citizens United. The ruling allows the fabulously wealthy to put anti-government ideologues into office.

But anti-government ideologues have one huge weakness: since they don't believe in governance, they don't ever learn how to do it.

Thus, these ideologues are essentially governing incompetents. They don't understand how politics works, their policies are unrealistic pipe dreams, and they end up alienating those whom they work with.

The results? An IQ drop in terms of GOP effectiveness. With disarray as frosting on the fail cake.
 
When you have one party that doesn't believe in governance....and another who does believe in governance, guess which is going to be better at it?

Citizens United would not be a problem if so much power was not concentrated at the federal level.

The Left's constant demands to concentrate more and more power at the top just makes it all that much easier for special interests to capture it.

The more power you put in one place, the easier you make it to capture.

Why the retards have never figured this out is beyond me.

Some day in the not too distant future, the Left is going to be crying about the capture of ObamaCare by special interests. The retards will be angry, but it will never occur to them it is their own fault. They handed the power over our lives and our health on a silver platter.

The problem I have with the GOP's approach is that much of the 'power' they want to 'decentralized' are constitutional protections. They want the federal judiciary out of the constitutional guarantees game, with the issue sent exclusively to the State.

Where the States will strip citizens of their constitutional rights (at least those conservatives believe the people shouldn't be allowed to have) with these former rights turned into crimes.

The only time that conservatives prioritize the rights of the individual over the power of the State....is with guns. In virtually every other context, they believe in the States' supremacy over the individual and their constitutional rights.

And many conservatives resent the federal judiciary preventing them from enacting that State dominance over constitutional rights.

It has always puzzled me why people would vote for people to run the government, and expect good results, who openly declare their hatred for government.

The modern GOP is just as much in love with big federal government as the Left is. No doubt about it.

The creation of the Department of Fatherland Homeland Security and the Patriot Act should have removed all doubt from anyone's minds about that.

I also firmly believe, based on their actions, the GOP long ago decided to cede the issue of socialized medicine to the Democrats. All their protestations over ObamaCare to the contrary. That's just theater for the rubes. An insider in DC all but openly admitted that to me just a couple weeks ago. He loved my "theater for the rubes line" and said, "And the rubes all live along the Mason-Dixon line and points south."

Oh, the GOP loves government *power*. What they seem to oppose most often.....is federal recognition of individual rights.

Unless its gun rights. Those they support. In pretty much every other regard, conservatives argue that the States should be able to strip citizens of rights if they believe they should.

Even their call for 'local control' is horseshit. As at the state level these same conservatives will advocate stripping cities and counties of the authority to regulate their own affairs.

Fracking, state education standards, gun laws, etc.

It seems to me that Republicans believe in very authoriatian government. With that authority wielded at the State level and with very few restrictions.

left-wingnuts have banned even CAKE SALES, large bottles of soda, guns(of course) are made MUCH HARDER TO PURCHASE............................ETC and a thousand other items. to see an idiot ranting about what the Right would or tries to ban is simply laughable

please stop making a fool of yourself
 
let's take a look at what "governance" the Left believes in; heck lets look at EVERYTHING they say they believe in........................and look for it's presence or lack of it in the places they DO run.

how's that sound???????????????????????????????????
